THE REPUBLICAN TICKET THERE Is not a candidate on the Republican ticket in Dauphin county this Fall who is not a clean man. an honest man, a man capable of fillinsr the office to which he aspires to the full satisfaction of the taxpayers. There is not a man on the ticket who has been made a target for the mud-sllnging defenders of Democracy in this county, for the simple i-eason that every one of them is above re proach. They were nominated at an open primary in which the people registered their choice unmistakably. There is every reason, therefore, why Republicans should vote for the whole ticket and none why they should stray from the party column. Nothing would please the Democrats of Dauphin county better than a division in the Republican ranks at this time. They would see it as an argument in next year's presidential campaign. Furthermore, the Demo cratic ticket is hopelessly beaten this time if Republicans vote solidly for their candidates, for the Republican registration and enrollment show a greater number of Republicans in city and county than all other voters com bined. including those who have not enrolled. Forestry Is now one of the most im portant subjects demanding the atten tion of our conservationists. Pennsyl vania has been making some headway in this direction and we can think of nothing more important, next to the conservation of the health of the peo ple. than the encouragement of re forestation and the planting of trees along the highways and wherever one can be properly planted. Our rural school teac-ners especially ought to urge the planting of trees at this time. Only the other day a public speaker stated that he knew of a man who had burned up eighty acres of trees to get land to raise wheat! PENNSYLVANIA'S ] PLACE DR. NATHAN C. SCHAEFFER, the distinguished State Superintend ent of Schools, has made a strong plea for the teaching of Pennsylvania history. In an address at Reading he vigorously discussed the history of this Commonwealth and pointed out the importance of impressing upon the young how large a place Pennsylvania has had in the development of the republic. He dwelt upon the re sources of the State, her contributions to art and education and very properly pointed out that all the histories of the United States have been written by New Englanders, and therefore have had the New England touch. Dr. Schaeffer observed that Penn sylvania lTad been too busy making history to write it, but that the time has now come for her sons to follow the rest of the States and sing her praises. He appealed for an awaken ing of civic pride and Instead of ap plauding such a phrase as "Pennsyl vania corrupt and contented" as ap plied to Philadelphia, he urged the teachers to show displeasure and dis approval. The able Superintendent of Public Instruction is the very person to rai3e the standard of Pennsylvania on high and call the attention of the army of school teachers and educators of this great State to the lamentable attitude of too many citizens who sit supinely while the his torians and orators and writers of other less important commonwealths continue their inexcusable references to Pennsylvania, the keystone of the arch of Amejican liberty. Governor Brumbaugh is doing his part in a broad way tQ arouse the citizenry of the State to a higher ap preciation of what Pennsylvania has done and Is doing along the legitimate lines of human endeavor in art, and science, and literature and in all the practical things which make for the welfare of her millions of people. It is little wonder that the Gover nor. Dr. Schaeffer, Henry Houck, ex- Governor Pennypacker, State Librar ian Montgomery and other represen totive men are taking up the cudgel not only in defense of the State, which needs no defense in fact, but also in MONDAY EVENING, sounding its praises far and wide., Governor Brumbaugh's splendid ad-: dress at the San Francisco Exposition | its a keynote and everywhere school. teachers and public speakers, i writers and preachers, and all who have to do with the education of the j youth should Join in a widespread movement to place Pennsylvania in its proper position before the country and the world. Let the little men be forced to the rear; they have had their day in this Stato and no longer should they be given a hearing among Intelli gent people. ROBERSOX'S TRAVELOGUES WITH a view to presenting for the enjoyment and instruction of the people of Harrlsburg an un usual sertes of travelogues, the Telegraph has been successful in con cluding an arrangement with Frank R. Roberson, the famous globe trotter, for an unusual engagement in this city, beginning next Thursday. Chestnut Street Hall has been se cured as the best place to present the views and it is hoped this auditorium will be large enough to accommodate the thousands who will doubtless want to take advantage of the arrangement which has been made with Mr. Rober son by ' this newspaper. The Tele graph Is simply acting for and in the interest of its army of readers and without any interest in the receipts. It is simply concerned in obtaining for all classes of our people the remark able series of entertainments at the minimum of coat, this newspaper contributing its services absolutely free of charge that the admission fee may be as small as possible. It should be understood, of course, that the use of the coupon from the Telegraph will secure a comfortable seat for ten cents; but the coupon is not necessary in purchasing a reserved seat for twenty-five cents. We want to make this matter very clear that there may be no misunderstanding at any time during this remarkable series of travelogues. Mr. Roberson is easily the leader in his line of entertain ment and the Telegraph is happy to co-operate with him in presenting the course for the benefit of Harrlsburg and vicinity. Changing the course of a rural route so that part of it runs over a road abandoned for fifteen years is said to be one of the accomplishments of this administration. Still, that is not sur prising. The same administration changed the tariff law and put it on a basis abandoned by the people of the United States for sixteen years. Hut there will some clay be a return to well-established roads in the mail ser vice and well recognized principles in economics. WHAT THK I'KOPLK WANT IN making excuses for the failure of the Democratic tariff bill, both as a revenue producer and as a measure of relief from the "high cost of liv ing," the Democratic press should not, as it does, place the blame on any thing anywhere under the sun but the right place. The attitude at Washing ton is reflected throughout the country by the constant criticism of our busi nessmen and manufacturers for alleged loose methods, extravagant manage ment &nd a general lp.ck of ability. It is as clear as the noonday sun that without a sufficient tariff we must allow competing countries to tlx prices. No one denies this. It is admitted by j all. But when it comes to the other j self-evident fact, that price auto matically regulates the pay of the wage-earner in any piven branch, the juggling begins and notable exceptions to this rule of price and compensation arc cited. Bragging that an American work man by some slelght-of-hand methods does or should produce two or three times the results of the best foreign workman does not make this true. High-sounding phrases of efficiency, education, etc., are given with total disregard of cold facts backed by figures. All these things are on a par with the vainglorious demagogue who blandly asserts that "a good American soldier can lick half a dozen for eigners." He can't, and that's all there is to it. We Americans may be able to work a little faster or better. Wc may be able to fight a little longer or a little more effectively. At least we all want to believe we can, but that we are creatures especially en dowed with Divine ability no person who stops to think believes. That we are as a whole, a people imbued with different Ideals, with standards of living at wide variance from the accepted custom of dull drab existence in many countries, is equally true, but who wants to exchange places or change our manners and methods to those of other countries? Do we want the other fallow to fix the price and conditions? We cannot accept the one without the other. The last forty or fifty years in the United States have been failures and we have been going to the bowwows "as fast as legs could carry us," ac cording to the Democratic party's reg ular "viewing with alarm" and "trem bling with fear" pronouncements. The people may not always know what they want, but they usually do know, and, what's more, they usually get what they want, and we venture the guess that a few, yes, more than a few, would be satisfied to have back right here and now the good old days of Republican rule, "robber tariff," "Czar Cannon," "high cost of living," civil service, and all. Governor Brumbaugh has done w6ll In reappointing Dr. C. P. Kramer, of this city, as a member of the State Pharmaceutical Examining Board for another term of five years. Dr. Kramer has given to his official duties pains taking caib, and his reappointment Is a recognition of meritorious public ser vice. *|>otaiw U ,*PtiuiouC«a-iua. By the F.x-Oommlttoema* No movement for Investigation of the municipalities of the State as a result of the charges regarding Phila delphia coal contracts will be under taken by the State authorities, al though they have full authority to do so under the terms of the Wilson probe resolution adonted In the closing hours of the recent legislative session. Speaker Charles A. Ambler, who was asked to name a committee to turn up conditions In Philadelphia by H. D. Allman, chairman of the Frank lin committee, said last night that he did not intend to call it, as he did not believe the commission should meet hi-fore the election. "If it meets at all, 11 will be after that time," said he. It is understood that efforts have also been made to havo the legislative committee probo Pittsburgh and some other cities of the State. —John H. Mailey, who was ap pointed as a deputy factory Inspector for Northumberland county on Sat urday, Is a former postmaster of Northumberland borough. —Gibboney is now charging that Director Porter failed to clean up Philadelphia. He is also charged by John W. Fraizer with ignoring civil service, and the whole Blankenburg administration seems to be getting thumped all alonrc the line. —Delaware county Democrats are up In arms against the State machine because of the effort of the "Wilson ad ministration to economize by cutting out some post offices. —Allegheny county Republicans have gotten together and are making an ap-gressive campaign with speeches al most every night. —Chairman Howard W. Body, of the Berks county Democratic commit tee, is being sharply criticised for butting into the nonpartisan campaign foi councilnien of Reading. Body has been reported as taking an active part In the city affairs when he has some factional troubles in his county. —Considerable interest has been aroused In Dauphin, Cumberland and other counties where some remnants of last Fall's Democratic machine linger by intimations that voters should use stickers "in the right, place." This has set some of the Democratic candidates in a flutter be cause they fear that the machine fac tionists are likely to attempt to put over some candidates in defiance of what the Democratic voters did at the primaries. This and some reported large contributions are interesting Democratic workers. —The Lancaster city mayoralty is once more to the front because the half past the eleventh hour with drawal of Dr. H. R. Garvey, the Wash ington party candidate for mayor of Lancaster, leaves the fight between Dr. M. L. Chadman, Democratic candidate and Mayor H. L. Trout, Republican. It is generally conceded that the Washington party could poll only a small vote and the Republican vote is so large that only the unexpected could elect the Democratic nominee. Much interest is manifested by Demo crats and Republicans alike in the muddle of the two Democratic County Commissionership candidates. David P. Magee, of Lancaster, and Amos S. Hess, of Gap. A resolution adopted ir. July, at a meeting of the Democratic county committee required the candi date who received the least vote to withdraw, but Hess refused to obev the resolution. Aggressive campaigning for the clos ing days of the Philadelphia mavor alty canvass in the interest of Thomas B. Smith, nominee for mayor, and his colleagues on the Republican ticket was inaugurated this afternoon bv the Republican City Committee at head quarters. As this was the last meeting of the committee before the election, it is expected that final instructions will be given to be imparted to the ward committee at the meetings to be held throughout the city this eve ning. Senator Penrose has engage ments to speak in different sections of Philadelphia ever night this week ex cepting Saturday, which being All Hal lowe'en campaigning will be suspend ed. Governor Brumbaugh will speak in South Philadelphia and German town on Friday night. —President Judge Johnson, of th« Delaware, county courts, on Saturday rendered a decision which left to county commissioners the settling of the ballot. He refused to issue a pre emptorv writ of mandamus against the Delaware county commissioners which would compel them to place fie names of all eight candidates for council in Chester and the names of the three candidates for mayor upon the official ballots for November 2. Action against the commissioners was started by William Ward. Jr.. Ellis B. McClenachan and Walter H. Crai-r. candidates for council, and William T. Fowden. candidate for mayor and alternative writs of mandamus were issued- These were argued imme diately and the commissioners declared that it was their intention to place the names of all candidates for coun cil on the tickets. W. S. McDoweM. candidate for mavor. received 4 28fi [votes, and the question hinged upon the fifty nor cent, clause of the act of 1915. The court held that the ques tion of deciding how many votes were cast and whether one man got more than fifty per cent, of them rests with the county commissioners. Judge Johnson declaring that no court can inquire into the question.

Thousands of tons of earth and loose rock slid down from Gold Hill at the left as shown in the upper photo and completely blocked the canal, which was 300 feet wide at this point. The lower picture shows the dredgers at work keeping clear the narrow passage which permits a rowboat to get through. This tills every day from the mud rising in the bottom, due to the pressure of the hills on the side of the cut. The length of the closed passage is 1,500 feet. When this is opened to a width of 100 feet navigation will be resumed. 1 TELEGRAPH'S PERISCOPE" Now is the time at hand when tho mighty Nimrod tells how "he winged it, but It got away."

ENLARGING THE WORLD By Frederic J. Haskin I ) NEXT year a new land will be rep resented on the map. The in trepid Stefansson has just re ported its location, and has set out to spend another year exploring it. Bradley Land, as it is called, is two degrees farther north than Crocker Land, discovered by Peary, which now figures on maps as the northernmost point. Dr. Cook reported the existence o£ such a land mass, but this statement, like most of the others he made, Was discredited at the time. Though no man of science has yet commented upon the fact, it would seem that this part of Dr. Cook's report has now been confirmed. Stefansson went in quest of reliable information as to what lies between Aluska and Spitzborgen. He also com pleted the charting of the northeast coast of Prince Patrick Island, fifty miles long, which was practically un explored. It is less than ten years since Peary, standing upon a mountain peak in Grantland, first sighted through his glass "the faint white summit of a distant land." He called It Crocker Land. Knud Rasmussen, a Danish explor er. afterwards claimed that Crocker Land was not an island, as Peary thought, but the corner of a large mainland, the extent of which Is yet unknown. An expedition in quest of further Information about Crocker Land was sent out, after the Stefans son expedition, under the joint au spices of the National Geographic So ciety and the American Museum of Natural History. Search for Hidden Land A number of other expeditions are engaged upon the exploration of the North Polar regions. The action of | BOOKS AND MAOAZINES" The Aeroplane, by Claude Graham- White and Harry Harper, is one of the two most timely books that Frederick A. Stokes Co. hat. published of recent date. The current conditions of war and preparednoss lend additional value to a work which is an excellent history and narrative of the steps taken In conquering the air. Starting with a mention of the Benedictine monk who leaped from a tower in Eng land with the idea that he could fly, the book closes with a vision of the universe twenty years hence, when "first Europe, and then the globe, will be linked by flight, and nations so knit together that they will grow to be r.txtdoor neighbors, and that which railways have done for nations, air ways will do for the world." The Man-of-Wnr, another book of the same "Romance of Reality" series, is similar to "The Aeroplane" and contains much useful informa tion of interest to students of the battleship proposition. It, too. is a history of the progress of science in the production or the great men-of war that are now destroying one an other across the sea. (Frederick A. Stokes Co.) The author is Commander E. Hamilton Curry. The Blue Symphony. A Boston pub lisher was lunching not long ago at an Inn on the South Shore. In the dining room was a group of college girls— irresponsible, irrepressible freshmen. Having finished their luncheon, they did not loiter for table talk, but in a moment were in the hall, foxtrotting to the tinkle of a mandolin. The pub lisher stopped to watch them on his way out and felt a juvenile com placence In his sympathy with their Joyous escape from books. Suddenly the youngest and liveliest called out, "Let's read poetry!" A large rug at one end of the hall held them all and the publisher waited curiously, for he recognized the thin, green book which appeared as the latest Imaglst An thology, and he wondered what these frivolous young creatures would find there to interest them. The selection was promptly mu.de and only the softly retreating footsteps of the publisher broke upon the voice of the youngest and liveliest as she read, wtth an ap l reeiatton which many a reviewer would envy, John Oould Fletcher's [ "The Blue Symphony," .

Spltzbergen is the most unique land in the world. It includes several is lands having centers of solid ice, while the Gulf Stream, which .sweeps their eastern shores, gives that portion of them a mild enough climate to make them interesting as summer resorts. They have a permanent population en gaged in mining and fishing. Their mineral resources have been studied, and wireless now connects them with the outside world. While the size of the supposed North Polar continent Is a matter of conjec ture, It Is generally agreed that the South Pole is In the midst of a great continent, probably larger than Eu rope and Australia together. Only its outside edge has been traveled by inan.

J Abetting (Eljat Unless war should come it is not likely that the information sent to the nutional authorities at Washington in response to their request as to what Dauphin county industrial plants could furnish in case of emergency will net. much beyond a card index and a filing cabinet, yet, the fact remains, that reports were made showing that the various works and factories In Har risburg and Steelton and vicinity couig supply many things without delay. The information asked was designed to find out what would be necessary to put plants into shape to handle orders of various kinds required for defense. The information given was that actual munitions of war could be made at once and that important parts could be made with little delay and that facili ties for manufacture could be sup plied. In shore, it was a gratifying report because it showed that Harris burg and Steelton were able to swing their organizations now operating in the intricate industrial system into work for the nation. The average reader probably does not realize that this city is a center of those men so essential to modern warfare, the machinist and that there are half a dozen works in and about this city, not including the Pennsylvania Steel works, the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works and the Morton Truck and Tractor plant, which have been making some materials for war use, which could he erp.ployed in furnish ing articles of various kinds for de fense. In addition there are shoe, stocking, provision and other factories which are counted into the scheme for organizing for the common need, while the government has received full information about Harrisburg's splen did distributing facilities and the sup plies available or quickly so. Then there is another feature of tha defense information plan, which has been worked out without much talk by the people having establishments hereabouts and it. is the item of trans portation. A war being a matter of mechanism it requires not only roll ing stock and vehicles, but trained men and it would probably surprise some of the Telegraph's readers to learn that they had been counted as units in a scheme of national defense, even though it call for no more excit ing work than their daily occupation of manning trains. Then again Undo Sam is now as well informed as to the number and ownership of automobiles and trucks in this community as tba State officials who issue the licenses to operate them. In short, the govern ment appears to have collected about you and me and how we tit into thn industrial life a surprising amount, of first hand information. Some of the data desired is not complete, but it will doubtless be so and the thing to do is to be ready to give service if the time should com-;, which, it is to be hoped, will never be.
